Paranoid and freaked out

I'm scared someone might be spying on me on this forum

Why do you think that, Scrulie? Does anyone in real life know your WP name?

(Feel free to PM if you want to talk about this not-publicly)

No but they may recognise the squirrel!

Oh, I see. Would you feel better if you changed your avvie. It would be a pity to loose the squirrel, but if it makes you feel safer.

It may be a little late!

Did someone say some thing to you at work?I dont think you have ever said anything on here to be "ashamed" of.You always seem appropriate.(I on the other hand have shown my true loony colors).

thanks krex! I think it's my non-verbals that have caused this. I can't trust my face or body not to communicate false messages to people (especially men but sometimes women too). I don't think this person would do me any harm or anything but I don't like being watched without my knowledge I suppose.

Scrulie, if it's any help, people visit WP without registering ALL the time! I did that for a while before I joined!

Of course, non-members can't view The Haven and Member's Only.

Yes, or I wondered...can Alex change people's usernames in these sort of circumstances?

Thanks KBABZ! Yeah I know but it's so easy to register isn't it? This person is (probably) Aspie too so there is a chance they hang out here. I don't know. i'm probably being silly.........

I think my suspicions have been confirmed because after I made the OP this person sent me a couple of weird and possibly threatening emails and then nothing. I haven't received anything from the website he runs for our organisation, which is unusual because I receive notifications of updates pretty much daily normally, and I have previously been one of the contributors to the site. It's such a shame because we were getting on so well previously and I'm so passionate about the organisation we both work for.

If you explain the situation to Alex, I'm sure he would let you change your user name.

or alternately just create a new account. youd need to delete this one first though, or use a different email adress
